This is a thread to replace the MK I "Ask a Muslim" thread after its runaway popularity.
If you have any questions that you'd like to ask Muslims then post them in this thread and, when they have time, hopefully the Muslim population of TSR will do their best to answer your questions for you.
Don't forget that all advice is unprofessional.
So, without further ado, ask away!

How is Sharia law beneficial to Muslims? isn't it clear that Sharia law is backwards and barbaric, demonstrated by many middle eastern Muslim countries left in the dark ages.

Whoa whoa whoa....you need the books for that. I doubt anybody has the time to answer that, as a sort answer would not do it justice.
no no nothing that deep lol. Just an overview. Do you believe todays muslims represent islam? Will the youth uphold islam as it is meant to be? I want these answers to come from peoples hearts and what they see for themselves e.g. at mosques, people etc and not from books where said author may influence your opinion. I would hope your opinions are your own.

Tomorrow maybe. I have to pray and sleep. lol. I will try to come up with some answer If I have time. Anyway, my so-called 'extremism' will be ignored by most.
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islâm (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islâmic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân. Verily! He is to you a plain enemy. (2:208)
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (33.36)
...And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment. (59:7)
O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), and fear Allâh. Verily! Allâh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (49:1)
Islam is not only your religion, it is your deen. When with the youth wake up and realise their obligations? When will we live our lives by Islam alone?
What is this life compared to the next? 70,80 years? The akhira is for eterninty, do you want to risk being thrown into the hellfire for even one second??
Muslim reports from Anas ibn Maalik that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"One of the people of Hell who found the most pleasure in the life of this world will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection, and will be dipped into the Fire of Hell. Then he will be asked: O son of Adam, have you ever seen anything good? Have you ever enjoyed any pleasure?" He will say, "No, by Allah (swt), O Rabb""
My beloved brothers and sister in Islam, why do we waste our lives involved in unislamic actions, Let us look to the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them all), to their actions, to their sayings. Theirs is the best example; their path is the only way to Jannah.
Consider the things you engage in everyday and the things you fill your time with.
On the day of Judgement when the Truth is separated from the falsehood, where do you think these actions will fall?
Oh Allah send your blessings upon your Prophet, his family, and companions, all of them. Oh Allah protect us all from shirk and hypocrisy. Oh Allah guide us away from the evil that we commit and towards the Straight Path of the deen that you have blessed and honoured us with.

Iran has Shariah law, so does Saudi, Syria...
Let's not argue semantics, you know exactly what I mean. How does Sharia law benefit a country in any way except for making their women second class citizens and enacting barbaric punishment methods from the 1600's?
No it hasn't, for example adultery lying "as it happened in their election", mistreatment, etc...is forbidden in Islam, although it's permissible in Iran!!!.
so does Saudi, Syria...
Listen, After France occupied Algeria,Morocco,Egypt,.... and the Occupation of Libya by Italy, In a word after the conspiracy theory collapsed the Ottoman empire,the legislation of these countries on one way or another don't follow Islam, rather they follow their tradition and customs. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show...=977995&page=3

It's totally untrue,I think you get this info from doctor spin, yeah??
Actually, Islamic shariah is amazing, educate yourself first please.
Heck Islamic shariah is a root of the European civilization. "Without Islam, European civilization might have been lost in that horrible age of savagery between the fall of the Roman Empire and the flowering of the Renaissance. Each and every person of European descent, whether they be Christian, Muslim, or atheist, owes Islam a profound debt of gratitude". said Hal Licino. http://hubpages.com/hub/How-The-Grea...m-Saved-Europe

oh, okay. My teacher's Muslim and she brought her child in and told me that it was Muslim practice, to give the hair to charity or something?

Ah,you are right.
sorry i thought you mean just female baby, so it's not true,Shaving the child’s head then anointing the child’s head with saffron is very beneficial. Then it is prescribed to give in charity gold or silver (money)equal in weight to the hair.
So they're not true Muslims then?
No they are Muslim, but if you read my post, you would notice the main-point of my post" how to know the different between custom and Islam".
Does the Qu'ran issue, or comment upon, any kind of physical punishment for homosexuality?
Yeah as the bible and Torah did, as the Sex with Parents is anti-Moral as well as the sex with animals.
In the report the authors lament the lack of rigorous studies on the issue, but observe that existing studies indicate that children adopted by same-sex couples "more frequently suffer from psychological problems, in particular: low self esteem, stress, insecurity regarding their future life in relationships and having children," and "sexual identity disruption" among other effects. http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/nov/08112702.html
Do you think Islam needs to evolve with contemporary society? Paticularly in Islamic states?
Islam by nature is, he doesn't need to, thankfully.

I'm not sure I understand. Religion is often inextricable from culture, but you can't use culture and/or custom to excuse abhorrent acts, or violations of human rights.
Yeah as the bible and Torah did, as the Sex with Parents is anti-Moral as well as the sex with animals.
Yes, right, but what punishment does it prescribe? Death?

I'm more than happy to debate upon the issue of same-sex adoption (and I completely disagree with you, strongly) but I doubt this is the place to do it. Feel free to PM.

What do you mean by this? Islam does need to evolve, in the context it was written, as with the Bible, many things that are included in the Qu'ran are no longer compatible with contemporary society. Would you deny that? Christianity no longer stones people to death, or sentences homosexuals to the death penalty, they're revising their views on contraception, why can't Islam do the same?
Discuss theological issues, which are issues inherent to a religion, not their political manifestations.
